<sub>"Consequently when the people of Baha desire to enter the sacred union of marriage, eternal connection and ideal relationship, spiritual and physical association of thoughts and conceptions of life must exist between them, so that in all the grades of existence and all the worlds of God this union may continue forever and ever for this real union is a splendor of the light of the love of God."

Abdu'l-Baha, Baha'i World Faith - Abdu'l-Baha Section, p. 373

"Entwined forever..." (Wedding ring inscription)</sub>


Marriage is greater than being with someone just because you like them...or even love them. It's about finding that person who connects with you and shares your essence of being. When I think of my husband, I often think of myself. Not because we are terribly alike, but because I feel like he is an extension of my body working in complete unison with the rest. There never was another piece that would work in that spot and there never will be in all the worlds of God.

Therefore, it is my husband is who touches me in the deepest sense.

It was incredibly difficult to decide on the colors for this piece. I have another version using reds and golds, but it just wasn't sitting right... Appropriately, it was my husband who decided on the final colors .
